The Contingency War packs a complete galactic conflict into four novels published in rapid succession during 2019. The series begins with The Contingency, introducing a threat that has been quietly eliminating alien civilizations for millennia. When humanity becomes the next target, the fight for survival drives the remaining three books through escalating confrontations.
The series moves quickly from first contact with the threat through strategic maneuvering in The Way Station Gambit to the fleet action of Rise of Nimrod Fleet and the conclusion in Earth’s Last War. It’s one of Ogden’s most focused series, telling a complete story with a clear beginning, escalation, and resolution.
